no sim extractor with 5s?

I didn't get a sim extractor with my 5s ordered through Apple. ATT
Do they not provide them anymore?
I tried to use a paperclip and for the life of me I couldn't get it to work!
I had to dig a sim extractor out of an old 3GS box I still had around, thank gawd.
Is mine MIA or is apple getting cheap?

apple hasn't included those for awhile i dont think. I use a a pin needle or a sewing needle. You need those puny/tiny paperclips if you wanna use those.

Apple doesn't provive sim extractors with USA phones anymore. If it's an AT&T phone, it's locked to AT&T, therefore in theory, you wouldn't really have a need to extract the sim to put in a different one (other than a replacement sim from AT&T).

Seems silly, but that's the way it is.

I was going to say, we still got the SIM tool with the 5 but that's up here in Canada so...there you have it.

I think if you ordered the "official" unlocked version they include the extractor. However that's not currently for sale. Since everyone is technically buying carrier models, we get SIM cards instead of SIM extractors.

I'm glad I saw this thread. We've got 2 iPhones 4s in our house, and two iPads. All have SIM cards. You'd think I have an "extractor" around but no. I did test out a small paper clip on my 4s and worked as expected.

I would have been pissed if the new 5s arrived and I had to run to Staples before I could activate it. My phone is unlocked so I'd imagine it may come with the "tool". I've had the SIM card in hand for a month in anticipation of the upgrade.
